Welcome to People Profile Ivett, could you please share a little bit about yourself?

Ivett Mc Lean Jackson

My name is Ivett Jackson I was born in Jamaica. I migrated to the USA at age 20.

I went to nursing school and start working at the hospital. I did 37 years of nursing, then I decided to change and go into writing my first book. The reason I wrote my is because. I had a memory flash, while I was watching the news about 49 years ago. They were talking about a young girl that was molested by a family member.

At that point and time, I said to my husband. I was molested , he asked by whom, he went on to say, you’re too feisty to allowed that to happen. I Said my stepfather raped me .

And for some reason, I forgot about it. I found deep well in the recesses of my mind and hid it. But it did not leave me alone. I kept remembering more and more.

And in my memory came a cousin. So I called my cousin and asked her if my stepfather had rape me and i became pregnant. She said yes. Apparently my stepfather call my cousin. She gave me some concoction to drink and said that because I don’t see monthly, I must have “catch” a cold so I needed a washout.

I drank it. But I didn’t have a CLUE what’s going on because I had just come from counrty. My stepfather came In my room and tried one nnight but I didn’t know what that stuff sticking on my leg was. I kicked and scream and he left me alone. But, he came back another time , this time, he covered my mouth and he succeeded. An abortion was profound and I didn’t even know what was happening to me during the process. That is the reason I wrote my first book “The Journey”.

I went on to write my second book… ” The Journey A Warrior’s Resilient Spirit ” which ended up being an award winning award-Lessons of Life 101 ” and was also nominated for best cutting-edge film in San Diego California.

I was also married for 37 years. I met my husband at the hospital. We dated and within 2 years we were married. My martiage was an abusive one.

He was a cheater and a liar. He abused me mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and soon he got physical.

After so many years I finally got the strength to take myself out of that situation.

I got the confidence to move on with my life.

I retired from nursing and persue acting, modeling.

Dr.C

Wow wow Wow!

I must admit Ivett, that I am inspire by your determination. Your life depicts real struggle by females all over the world. I understand also that you have had a bout with cancer is that correct?

Ivett Mc Lean Jackson

Yes!

I had gone through cancer. I was diagnosed with breast cancer.

It was a great struggle. I did 6 hours of mastectomy reconstructive surgery.

I am completely healed now over 11 years. God was on my side because the Doctor had given me 3 months to live. But I REFUSE to allowed the enemy to bring sickness on me. Am i supposed to buckle under him and … what? DIE… I don’t think so. I served a true and living God and I have every confidence that Jesus is my great Physician and Healer.

I stand on the word of god with my Faith, and my faith has made me whole Glory be to God. I’m in excellent health. Better than before I was attacked

Dr. C, you must remember one thing. ” What happened to you does not defined you. It is not your fault.

Dr. Maya Angelou said that”. I can be changed by what happens to me but I refused to be reduced by it.

God had already defined YOU. Plan your plan, work your plans and MAKE it happen.

Dr. C

Ivett Mc Lean Jackson

Dr Maya Angelou and Oprah Winfrey because they were also molested and that did not stop them from being successful.
